Lots of nice results there

second best average ever by Mitsuki, new WR for OH avg, asian records all the place

they're getting too good for me to catch on OH

Very impressive results. If Mitsuki didn't DNF in the final, he would have had a good shot at the WR.

 

[Dene]

Wow, this is insane . It's a shame that Yu Nakajima didn't pull out a better time though.

 

[Lofty]

Wow! very good results! I have never even heard of Keisuke Hiraya and now he has the WR?!? Most all the Cutex members were there but I don't see Tomy!
Don't worry Pedro we will catch them! We should start a team of our own and train together

 

[Pedro]

damn...I didn't notice Mitsuki had a DNF O.o

that's even more impressive...

Lofty,
yeah, we should do that...but...we live kinda far away

unfortunately Tomy wasn't there maybe he'll go to the next one and break the WR(s)

 

[tsaoenator]

what was the DNF time?

 

[Lofty]

I guess looking back at the results only 3 Cutex were there. Raiden nor Tomy were there to compete in OH I think they are both capable of beating the WR along with Ryosuke Hugo. Sad none of those guys got to attend
Shoot... its not too far... what like 10 hours or so if we fly.. I forget how long it took when I went to Brasil in March. We can just use the chat.

 

[Harris Chan]

Sigh...if I didn't DNF mine at TOF it woul've been 12.0x

Congrats Mitsuki, he has improved a lot during these times!!

Nakaji broke his main cube before this comp, the one he used was "raised up" only a few weeks ago...

Very impressive results. If Mitsuki didn't DNF in the final, he would have had a good shot at the WR.

Yeah, he just needed a sub-12.92 solve to have broken it...

 

[Harris Chan]

Isn't he the fastest all around 3x3 solver? That is, the lowest sum of the rank in single solve + average (2+2 = 4)

 

[ExoCorsair]

Isn't he the fastest all around 3x3 solver? That is, the lowest sum of the rank in single solve + average (2+2 = 4)

Going by that standard, yes. But how much does the sum of the ranks mean?

 

[Suraimu]

I seemed to be able to exceed nakaji a little more.

However, they are too fast.

 

[alexc]

Wow, I saw those results on speedcubing.com and I was like... WOW!!!

 

[hdskull]

Who is Suraimu? Gunji?

And all Gunji needed was a sub 12.93, I'm pretty sure that solve could've been sub 12.93.

 

[Harris Chan]

Suraimu...is Sinpei Araki =D

Now, where are the videos, I want to ask

 

[hdskull]

Was Gunji's 9.75 lucky ?

 

[Suraimu]

I'm Sinpei Araki

>hdskull
that is no lucky
and
Gunji 1st was DNF though his cross was to have been completed by 2~3 turns

>Harris
I think a part of the video to be updated after a while.

However, they are too fast.

Think, hdskull. Suraimu said that he was able to, but his second sentence implies that he didn't. Clearly, it's someone who's close, so I would've guessed Sinpei (but I knew it was him already).

 

[hdskull]

Well he said he seemed to be able to exceed nakaji a little more. Usually Araki doesn't average as fast as Nakaji at all. haha

I was kinda confused by the 2nd sentence, haha.

Araki: Wow, awesome, now Gunji is the fastest non-lucky.

 

[Harris Chan]

Yah, it pwned mine -.-" Well, I enjoyed it while it lasted...
